E papers have reported that persons named Mahoney, from New York, have invaded Bar Harbor with an auto- mobile. ‘These folks must be of the race of the Fighting Mahoneys, for the island of Mt. Desert bars automobiles by local ordi- nance from its sea-girt roads, and the ad- vocates of the simple life who go there in summer are sure to make a determined fight against motor invasion. We hope they will win it. We shall not be surprised to hear that a devil was cast out of somebody in Bar Harbor, and that it entered into the Mahoney motor car, which straightway ran down a steep place into the sea and was scen no more. For the sca comes deep to the margins of the Maine islands, and the sides of them are apt to be precipitous Automobiles are a fit mitigation of the life of citics, and of the lives of all people who are tied by their occupations to the is ‘o that they cannot go far away y But in the sland paradise’ of Maine they have no proper place. Whoever gets as far away from the cares of the world as Mt. Desert, or even Penobscot Bay, wants neither to hurry nor to be reminded of the world of hurry he has left behind. It is a long, long journey down there, and whoever takes it has paid a price for tranquillity and ought to have it, un- disturbed. LIFE Our Fresh Air Fund y acknowledged. . REVIOUS Anonymou! HPS...

Four teaspoonfuls. of whisky to a glass of milk makes a good combination. In ordinary cases four ounces of whisky or brandy may be given daily The week following this, Dr. H. C Clapp, of Boston, appeared in the Med- ical Record with this information: Most consumptives need’a great deal of fresh meat, and should have it two or three timesaday. . . . Alcoholic stimulants should be positively forbidden. Alcohol is now universally recognized as a very fre- quent cause of tuberculosis, and the treat- ment of the disease can surely be conducted far better without it. New Garb for Jackies UR bold sailormen are to have new togs. Their present dress was com- posed in times when warships wore sails, and there was rigging to be climbed and things done such as one reads about in the poétry of the early nineteenth cen- tury. All that has passed. A competent jacky of the period is a maritime plumber who can handle powder and hit a mark with a big gun. There is no longer any aloft for him to climb, and he does not need garb suitable for climbing. What he needs aboard ship is raiment suitable toa seagoing military mechanic. Ashore he ought to have whatever kind of clothes the girls like him best in, so that the prac- tice of excluding him from public dances and places of amusement may be easier abated.
